Decreasing Your Risk of Glaucoma | Glaucoma Awareness Month

1/1/2022

13 Comments

 
Picture
Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness if left untreated. It causes damage to the optic nerve. In many cases, fluid builds up in the eye and leads to increased eye pressure. The increase in pressure damages the optic nerve. Some people can also have normal eye pressure and still develop the condition.
​
January is Glaucoma Awareness Month. Learning more about how to decrease your chances of this eye disease may help preserve your eyesight. 

​Risks 

There are several risk factors for developing glaucoma, including the following:
  • Age: Most people that develop glaucoma are over the age of 40.
  • Having an eye injury: A previous eye injury can cause glaucoma in some cases.
  • Certain medications: People that use long-term steroids are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
  • A thinning optic nerve: Some people may develop a thin optic nerve, which is a risk factor for glaucoma.
  • Poor circulation: Certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, increase your chances of glaucoma. 
​

Can you decrease your risk of getting glaucoma? 

It is not always possible to prevent all instances of glaucoma, but there are steps you can take that may improve your overall eye health and reduce your risk of developing glaucoma. Consider the following: 

Get to a healthy weight

Being too thin or overweight may raise your risk of glaucoma. The exact reason that people with a BMI that is too low or too high have a higher chance of glaucoma is not entirely clear, but there does appear to be a link. Talk with your doctor about what a healthy weight is for you.

Exercise

Getting regular exercise is great for your overall health. It may also reduce your risk of glaucoma. The Glaucoma Research Foundation reports that some studies have found that moderate exercise at least three times at week can lower eye pressure and possibly the risk of glaucoma. 

Do not smoke

Smoking can damage the blood vessels in the body, and that may include the eyes. As a result, smoking may also increase the risk of certain eye diseases. For example, according to the New York State Health Department, smoking increases the risk of glaucoma.

Have regular eye exams

Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs, so it is important to have regular eye exams. During an eye exam, your eye doctor can measure your eye pressure and screen for glaucoma. Early diagnosis is optimal to get treatment and maintain good vision. Promptly go to your eye doctor if you experience some of these symptoms of glaucoma: severe headache, eye pain, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye redness.

Wear protective eyewear

Eye injuries can lead to secondary or traumatic glaucoma. Reduce your risk of eye injuries by wearing the appropriate protective eyewear for the activity you are doing.

Eat fruits and veggies

Some research show that eating certain foods may help protect your eyes. Make sure to include plenty of colored berries and veggies in your diet every day.

Wear sunglasses

It appears that excessive exposure to the UV rays from the sun may raise your risk of developing glaucoma. To reduce that risk, wear sunglasses when outdoors during the day. Look for glasses that provide close to 100 percent UV protection.

Practice good dental hygiene

It might be surprising, but there may be a connection between gum disease and damage to the optic nerve that occurs with glaucoma. Make sure you brush your teeth and floss daily. See your dentist for regular cleanings and treat gum disease early. 

Talk to your doctor about steroid medications

If you take steroids to treat a medical condition, talk with your doctor about other options. But as always, do not stop taking any medication without speaking with your healthcare provider.

We hope the tips above help you reduce your risk of glaucoma. If you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help. Also, if you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:

I would gladly tell you all that I was able to put an end to my divorce issue and restore my marriage again, because I never wanted it to happen. I don't know what came over my husband that he was filing for divorce, i tried to talk him out of it but he didn't listen to me, i had no other option than to seek the help in any where I could think of and went to the length of contacting Dr.Jumba and now am glad I did ask for help from him. Because if not for the help Dr. Jumba, I don't know what would have become of my marriage now because I loved my husband so much that I couldn't stand losing him. The spell worked like magic with the way and manner my husband changed and started showing love instead of the divorce he was planning. I'm just too happy that everything is in place for me now. I would gladly recommend the use of spell to any one going through marriage problems and want to put an end to it by emailing Dr.Jumba through his website on https://drjumbaspellhome.wordpress.com/ and that was were i got the help to restore my marriage you can email or text him Via : wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com or +19085174108

This has really worked and I am proud to testify of it. I saw a post on how a lady got her man back by Dr. Jumba who helped her to get her  Husband back. Me and my Husband was separated  for 3 good years and some months. Although I never believed in spiritual work I reluctantly tried him because I was desperate but to my greatest surprise Dr. Jumba helped me to bring back my man and now my relationship is now perfect just as he promised. Getting your ex back permanently does not only bring back someone you love back, but it will also re-ignite your lover's feelings for you to be as happy with that person as possible. My man now treats me like a queen and always says he loves me all the time. If you are going through difficulties in your relationship Email him for urgent help.

I'm here to let everyone know that there is a cure for HERPES1&2. The doctors have succeeded in letting people living with Herpes know that there is no cure for Herpes and they have been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I got diagnose of herpes1 January this year 2022 and i did not believe in my doctor that there is no cure for herpes rather i went into research online and I was introduce to Dr Osato a herbal healer by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using Dr Osato Herbal Medicine. I got the herbal medicine from Dr Osato and made use of it as I was instructed. I went to the clinic for a checkup after two weeks of using the herbal product. My result came out Negative and I was booked another appointment after 30days to confirm my result and the test still showed Negative and I was given the green light that I am fully free from herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. You can contact Dr Osato by email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853. His website is osatoherbalcure.wordpress.com. I have promised to keep sharing my testimony so people will know that there is a cure for herpes.

​Good day everyone. I have something to share with you..
My name is Tracy Alex from the USA. My boyfriend and I were separated for a long period due to some misunderstanding. I came across different spell casters and they were all unable to bring my lover back. I was so sad and almost gave up on him when I met a spell caster called Dr. Oriri, who helped me get my lover back. Ever since then I have been so happy and couldn't believe it would happen. He also helped me with success spells. I have been living happily with my lover now and will be getting married soon. Here is his contact: Email: greatoririobaspellhome@gmail.com Call or WhatsApp: +1 (804) 596-5688 if you need his help in getting your ex back, stop your marriage from crumbling, or you need success in every aspect of your life.

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.
